How many GB is Battle Chess?

1 GB

That makes it bigger than 33% of Strategy games we have measured.

The median Strategy game needs 2 GB; the largest tenth start at 16 GB.

Leave at least 7 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

Battle Chess was developed by Interplay as their first project after severing ties with Electronic Arts. They designed it for the Amiga in 1988, and it was released on the majority of the other systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well. It was widely successful, and resulted in two follow-ups, many copy-cat games, and a remake for Steam on PC. The only significant criticism the game received was the weak chess AI, as it was not until the mid 1990s that chess ai began to consistently win against strong opponents.
